2023 Summer Camps

2023 Camp Policies

Movies Movies may be shown while participants are in Raleigh Parks. Before movies are shown, as possible, the title of the movie will be communicated to parent/guardians. Participant Release The Security Key Tag Identification Process is in place to properly identify individuals that have the parent/legal guardian's permission to sign-out a participant from the camp program. Legal guardians and other individuals listed on the participant form as an authorized pick-up person will be issued a security tag by showing a photo ID. A parent/ guardian will not be issued multiple key tags to be given to other individuals authorized to pick up the participant. All authorized persons must be prepared to show a legal form of identification, such as a key tag and/or photo ID, each time a participant is released to their custody. Before the program begins parent/guardians should inform staff of any changes to the pick-up list by contacting the Recreation Business Office at 919-996-4800. Any person listed as a parent/guardian on the registration form may add or remove additional person(s) to the authorized pick-up list. Parents and guardians should contact the Registration Business Office at 919-996-4800 or camp.registration@ raleighnc.gov to change information. Parents/guardians should inform anyone picking up a participant without a key tag that they will be required to show legal photo identification (e.g., school or work badge, driver's license). Raleigh Parks recognizes that anyone listed as a parent/ guardian on the registration form has equal access to their child in our programs. Should a parent/guardian desire to restrict access by the other, he/she shall be required to provide legal documentation authorizing. Raleigh Parks staff reserves the right to validate the appropriateness and authority of the documentation provided. Understanding the sensitivity of each instance, it may be necessary for Raleigh Parks staff to contact each of the parent/ guardians involved in the legal proceedings to inform of the action being taken and/or obtain additional information.

emergency plans, program modifications, reduced ratios, and specialized trainings. The individualized support plan does not exempt participants from following program policy, rules, and consequences. The agreed modifications may assist them in meeting policy and rules but does not exempt them from following them. Since camp/school based programs are not direct therapeutic environments, Inclusion Services does not provide a 1:1 aide to support your participant within the program you register for. Participants who require a 1:1 aide for program success may bring their own Personal Assistant to the program, at no additional cost. While every effort is made to meet the requests, there are situations in which programs may be determined as not the best fit for an individual’s needs. In these situations, we will work with the participant, family, and staff to make recommendations. Raleigh Parks is striving to create inclusive spaces that are successful for individuals of all abilities. In doing so, all summer camps and youth programs will implement the General Support Strategies regardless of support need within the program. To reference these strategies, please visit www.raleighnc.gov/parks/inclusion-and medical-support . Late Pick-up Participants that are picked up after the closing time of the program will be charged a late fee. The fee is as follows: Once the parent/guardian is up to ten minutes late a $5 fee will be charged per family. An additional $1 per family will be added for every minute past ten minutes late. Payment is due at the time of late pick-up. Continual late pickups may lead to dismissal from the program in relation to excessive late pick-up policy forms. Lost/Stolen Items Raleigh Parks is not responsible for any personal items lost or stolen at our programs. After the program ends items left at the site will be donated/disposed of. Medication When possible, participants should take medications outside of program hours. Parents/Guardians must notify the program staff of any medication, to include prescription and over the counter, that may be administered during program hours and a Raleigh Parks medication form will need to be completed for each medication.
